Things people have said to you, good and bad

Post by theia »

"You're weird, but not nice weird" (an ex partner)

"Hair straighteners are wasted on you" (my eldest granddaughter whilst watching me straighten my hair)

Just a couple, loads more but I'm off to bed

ETA...children will be back shortly to relieve me as babysitter, so here are some more...

"You've got incredibly sad eyes" (an ex boyfriend from several hundred years ago)

"I knew it was you from a distance because you walk funny" (said to me in my teens...I have never walked in a relaxed manner since so I do have an odd gait)

"I cut open a tomato one and it was full of maggots (thank you, ex husband, I invariably wonder about that every time I slice open a tomato)

I shall have to ponder...

why are hair straighteners wasted on you?

I could understand if you had curly hair every time I see you, but you don't :wah:

I was at Bristol coach station last week. There was a tramp type person. He told me I had beautiful eyes... he got £20 for that :wah:

A cousin just told me that I look a lot like my dad, except fatter.

You have lovely eyes.

Shall I send a Paypal request for the money ?
